Vitamin C in summer?

Vitamin C is an ideal active ingredient for summer, but when used as ascorbic acid—that is, pure—the molecule is highly unstable, photosensitive, and also irritating. However, at Herbera, we use a derivative that is not. This is due to advances in biotechnology, where ascorbic acid is bound to a sugar molecule, resulting in a stable variant of vitamin C called ascorbyl glucoside. This new variant is not photosensitive, is not irritating, and can be used during the day, in summer, to boost the effects of our sunscreen.

Yes, indeed, it boosts the protective effects of our sunscreen, and that is because vitamin C blocks the harmful UV rays that cause, among other things, skin aging. Let me tell you about its most notable properties.

What effects does vitamin C have on the skin?

• Acts as a depigmenting agent, reducing spots and evening out skin tone. The famous brightening effect.
• Protects against the appearance of new spots.
• Increases hydration.
• Softens expression lines thanks to the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
• Increases skin elasticity.
• Improves firmness.
• Prevents photoaging.

The ideal vitamin C serum for summer

To increase the effects of vitamin C, at Herbera we formulate 2 serums in which we combine vitamin C with ferulic acid, another natural active ingredient with high antioxidant capacity. Like vitamin C, it also protects against sun damage, is depigmenting, and anti-wrinkle. This enhances the anti-aging action of the vitamin C. They also contain vitamin E, which provides greater stability to the formula, and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid to prevent transepidermal water loss and keep the skin wonderfully hydrated.

The combination of VITAMIN C and FERULIC ACID is the true secret to luminous, elastic, and spot-free skin.

I invite you to visit the website to see its full composition and the reviews from those who have already tried them. Here is a brief summary.

I have combination and sensitive skin that is sometimes reactive, and after pregnancy, my spots multiplied—basically a wonderful cocktail. So, I was looking for a vitamin C serum that would help me with the spots without irritating my skin, and I found it! A serum that is a pleasure to apply, not sticky at all, and smooth. Best of all, you can notice the depigmenting effect from the start. The best for a daytime routine! I will definitely buy it again.

And if your skin tends to be dry, we suggest the NUTRITIVE REPAIR. Also a WINNER at the ORGANIC CLEAN AWARDS as BEST ORGANIC DEPIGMENTING SERUM.
